NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream keepass2 package and not the keepass2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The automatic update feature in KeePass 2.33 and earlier allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code by spoofing the version check response and supplying a crafted update.
